Yet the topic remains under-studied among criminologists. The Delinquent Girl is a "state-of-the-field" evaluation that identifies and analyzes girls who become delinquent, the kinds of crimes they commit and the reasons they commit them. The distinguished academics and practitioners who contributed to this volume provide an overview of the research on girls' delinquency, discuss policy implications and point to areas where further research is critically needed. 606 $aFemale juvenile delinquents 606 $aJuvenile delinquents 615 0$aFemale juvenile delinquents. 615 0$aJuvenile delinquents. 676 $a364.36082 676 $a364.3608352 701 $aZahn$b Margaret A$026803 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827021703321 996 $aThe delinquent girl$94200867 997 $aUNINA
